Cordelio Power, the renewable energy producer, announced this Thursday it has reached the financing completion of a 185 megawatts wind project for Illinois. The project itself is the Glacier Sand Wind, to be locate at Mason County.
Firstly, this financing was for the construction phase of the project; Rabobank coordinated the financing; along with its affiliates Bank of Montreal, National Bank of Canada, and MUFG.
Secondly, completion of the construction phase of the project may occur by the end of this very year, according to the statement. Once completed, the project will enter into a term loan.
Thirdly, a tax equity commitment from a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy will support the loans; such loans will receive funs once the project reaches commercial operations.
Moreover, specifically, around October the project may be fully built; once ready, it will sell the 100% of its renewable energy output to Microsoft, through a long-term power purchase agreement.
